Sun's Java Data Objects (JDO) API provides transparent, object-level

persistence of Java objects. Implementations of JDO are planned for both

object and relational databases. An implementation provides the mapping

between an application's Java object model and its representation in an

underlying database. Objects get activated in memory as the application

evaluates query predicates or navigates references and updates are

automatically propagated back to the database. An overview of the API from

the application developer's perspective is presented, as well as the current

status of implementations. Attendees should have a basic understanding of

Java and databases.

David Jordan is a Systems Architect at BuildNet, Inc., using Java with both

object and relational databases. He has 15 years of development experience

addressing object persistence needs across a wide spectrum of application

domains. He has dealt with the storage of objects in flat files,

network-model, relational, and object-oriented databases. In addition to

serving as a corporate-wide consultant on objects and their storage while

employed at Bell Labs and Ericsson, he independently consulted for many

other companies applying the technology. David has also served as a

technical advisor for three of the object database vendors.

<br>

<br>

David is a Java Report columnist (and a former C++ Report columnist) focused

on object persistence topics and is the author of C++ Object Databases. He

is a member of the expert group selected by Sun to define the Java Data

Objects (JDO) API. David is also the Java Editor of the Object Data

Management Group (ODMG), co-authoring four of the books published by the

ODMG.
